Hey BrownDog, add a few loops of elastic shock cord to your arm rest supports. It'll help stop the rattling and relieve the tiny springs from holding up your armrests over rough terrain. The shock cord is also handy for…
Because it's awesome! The amazing landscape and the people associated with the event, both organizers and participants, make the cost, the time off of work, the travel expenses, and more all worth it for me. It's a…
After my great experience with a Schmidt SON dynamo hub during several bikepacking trips, I'm going that route. I'll use it to run lights and night and charge my Garmin during the day. I'm planning on using a Sinewave…
Hello! Nick Legan here. If you're looking for both a coach and an entry in either the Dirty Kanza 100 or 200, check out Rambleur Rising. rambleur.com/rambleur-rising/ Rambleur Rising is the recommended coaching service…
I did indeed. Just curious about what riders are deciding on for this year. Thanks for sharing!
Hey gang, curious what others are planning to use for lights at next spring's Trans Iowa. I'm going with a dynamo hub and light/USB charging, either a KLite or Sinewave Beacon. How about you?
Heading to Stillwater in a few weeks. Any advice on tires? I know the roads are red clay. Specific make, model and size would be much appreciated. I'll be using tubeless and have a few sets on hand. Thanks!
Looks great to me. I love the direct mount rear brake with replaceable threaded inserts. I love the tire clearance. I would expect the geometry to be in the ballpark at this point. Looks like a killer machine.…
I'll be there! Loved it in 2013. Can't wait!
My wife is headed there with the Mosaic crew. Should be a good one! Nick

Stoked to see my friend winning an award for his amazing work and innovation. And for a gravel racer. Check out the lights!:…
Good thoughts everyone. A lot of those things are coming into play with my upcoming bike. Here's the prototype for my bike. Harvey Cycle Works won Best New Builder at NAHBS this year:…
Ha! I just saw this post. Tomorrow is MSR and it's ONLY 300km. Got nothing on Trans Iowa!

Anyone else in the process of building or having a custom frame built for gravel riding? What are your thoughts on brakes, tire/wheel sizing, gearing, etc? Any cool custom integration? For instance I'm having a custom…
BluesDawg, cyclocross bikes are the go-to for many gravel riders. They're relatively affordable, easy to find and work with fairly large tires. It all depends on where you ride and where you plan on riding. I've taken…
Yeah, aerobars are a godsend! Ardents are a bit too rowdy in my opinion. I like a big volume tire for suspension and flat prevention, but you want something fast rolling. There is essentially no singletrack on the route…
The typical setup is a rigid or front suspended 29er. Fast rolling 2-inch tires are most popular. You'll want the bigger tires for a bit of suspension and to avoid flats. Many run drop bars and even more run aerobars…
I raced part of the route this summer. From Banff to Dubois, WY. The northern section is gorgeous. Lots of wildlife, remote areas. I live in Colorado and have ridden sections here. I've also ridden the section in New…
